Note we can ease this process a little by making a copy without removing, e.g., adding compile to sys now without removing it. As programs support only Python 2.5+, they could use sys.compile and wouldn't need to resort to the try/except above. I realize this is only a marginal improvement. However, if we don't start making changes, we will be stuck maintain suboptimal behaviour forever. n _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
